Gabby O'Neil - Safe System Approach
- 1. Gabby O’Neill General Manager, Road Safety October 2018 AITPM ‘Back to Basic” Seminar Safe System Approach
- 4. Safe Systems
- 5. Number of fatalities in SA (rolling 12 month data) 2007 to 2016
- 9. Angle Impact and Degree of Severity
- 10. Fatal & Serious Injury Crashes – Rural Council Roads
- 11. Examples showing before and after treatment (Tea Tree Gully – Mannum Rd) Guard fence reduces the risk of runoff road crash by up to 30 per cent Guard Fence
- 12. • Motorcycle Crash Cushions • The motorcycle barrier system is attached below the guard rails, absorbing fallen rider impact and gently deflecting them back towards the road. Safer Roads for Motorcycling
- 13. Victor Harbor Road at Willunga Hill Wire Rope Safety Barrier
- 14. Main North Road, from Curtis Rd intersection to Tiver Rd intersection Wire Rope Safety Barrier

- 20. BEFORE AFTER Raised Intersection Platform
- 21. Road Safety Treatments: Run-ofCrashesTreatment: Right Turns, Signalised Intersections Signalised Intersections Over 500 signalised intersections within South Australia. Sites where crash rates are higher undergo investigations. Volume of right turn traffic and or opposing traffic is high. Visibility of oncoming traffic is less than required for safe gap selection. Reduce opportunities for motorists to filter right turn. Controlled Right Turns are when the red arrow remains on during the through vehicle phase. Generally used because of the history of right turn crashes. Positive results.
- 22. Wombat Crossing - Hahndorf
- 23. •Over 500 signalised intersections within SA •Higher crash rate sites undergo investigations •Volume of right turn traffic &/or opposing traffic is high •Visibility of oncoming traffic is less than required for safe gap selection •Reduce the opportunities for motorists unsuccessfully attempting to filter a right turn •Controlled right turns have the red arrow remain on during the through vehicle phase Signalised Intersections
- 24. ANCAP
- 25. •People make mistakes but road deaths are not inevitable •Use placemaking •Use safe system thinking to design your infrastructure • Wire ropes • Guard rails • Audio tactile line marking • Full control signals • Lower speeds • Raised intersection platforms • Wombat crossings Wrapping Up
